Are you being called by Central Bonded Collectors?* Here’s what you need to know

Debt collectors often cross the line with consumers who owe money because they are typically paid according to how much they successfully collect. This type of incentive can motivate them to extreme and unpleasant behavior, but you have the right to make them stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was passed in 1977 to control the conduct of third-party debt collectors who were pushing consumers to the point of bankruptcy. The FDCPA prohibits actions like the following and penalizes offenders with fines and even license revocation.

  • Using the phone to harass you by calling nonstop
  • Threatening legal actions that they have no intention of taking
  • Refusing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
  • Pretending to be attorneys, police officers, or federal agents
  • Using abusive or obscene language
  • Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement

It noted that the debt consisted of a dishonored check “for $65.00” plus interest and other charges. However, he asserted that the check had been for $50.00, not $65.00.
